Step 1:

How do you make a tasty homemade zucchini pizza in a skillet? Gather all the ingredients you'll need. Wash and dry the vegetables and herbs. You can make your own mayonnaise, or swap it for sour cream or plain white yogurt.
Step 2:

Grate the zucchini on a coarse grater and squeeze out the juice thoroughly. If your zucchini is already mature, scoop out the seeds and peel it. Always taste it first — older zucchini can be bitter. If it's young and tender, the skin and seeds are thin and you can grate it whole.
Step 3:

Crack the egg into the bowl of grated zucchini and add the sifted flour, along with salt and pepper. Stir everything together until you have a smooth batter with no lumps of flour.
Step 4:

Pour the oil into a skillet and heat it over medium. Spread the zucchini batter into a 10-inch (26 cm) skillet and smooth it into an even layer. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the top has set and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip it over with a wide spatula.
Step 5:

Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over the top. You can use plain yogurt or tomato sauce instead.
Step 6:

Slice the tomato into rounds and cut the sausage however you like. Arrange the tomato and sausage over the whole surface of the zucchini base. I used meatloaf and smoked sausage.
Step 7:

Grate the cheese on a medium grater and sprinkle it over the top of the pizza. Use a cheese that melts well. You can swap the hard cheese for mozzarella or parmesan.
Step 8:

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook over low heat for 7–10 minutes. The cheese should melt completely and the edges should start to turn golden. Remove from the heat, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and serve right away while the cheese is still soft.
Step 9:

Enjoy!

Important! The wrong skillet can ruin even the best recipe. For all the details on choosing the perfect pan for different dishes, read here.
Any oil is only good up to a certain point — its smoke point, where it starts to burn and form toxic compounds, including carcinogens. To learn how to gauge frying temperature, which oils are best for frying, and which are better left out entirely, read here.
It's best to make your own mayonnaise — it tastes better and is healthier. Find some great homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also use sour cream or plain yogurt as the dressing instead of mayonnaise, either on their own or mixed with mayo in whatever proportion you like — this lowers the calorie count of the dish.
